Backup And Restore Filegroups
Apr 19, 2004
Hi,
I want to take the backup of a particular filegroup in SQL server 2000 and then restore the same filegroup backup.
Currently I am using the following steps :
1. Creating the database with 2 filegroups. The syntax that I used for it is as follows :
create database test
on primary
(name = test1,
filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est1.mdf'),
(name = test2,
filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est2.ndf'),
filegroup group2
(name = test3,
filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est3.ndf'),
(name = test4,
filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est4.ndf')
log on
(name = test_log,
filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est_log.ldf')
2. Now I am creating two tables table1 and table2 using Enterprise Manager. Both the Tables, table1 and table2 are on the "Group2" Filegroup of test database.
3. After creating the tables, I inserted three records in each table.
4. Then I performed the backup using the following commands:
backup log test
to disk = 'e: est.lg1' with init
backup database test
filegroup = 'group2'
to disk = 'e: est_group2.bak'
5. After the backup has been taken, I deleted the two records from both the tables. Now both my tables have one record each.
6. Now I tried restoring the database using following command :
backup log test
to disk = 'e: est.lg3' with init
restore database test
filegroup = 'group2'
from disk = 'e: est_group2.bak'
with norecovery
restore log test
from disk = 'e: est.lg3' with norecovery
restore database test
with recovery
7. After all these commands are executed, when i checked my database, it contains again the one record in each table. Ideally, according to me the tables should contain 3 records as i had taken the backup when each table had 3 records.
How can I bring the database back to the state in which I had taken the backup.
Pls. help me as soon as possible.
And also let me know, if I need to do any SQL level or Database level settings for the above task.
Waiting for your reply. and thanking you in advance.
Regards,

I hope this is the right forum, if not sorry about that. On Friday I will be doing support with another orgnaization on a SQL 2000 cluster system. The database will be backed up , another team will do the major application upgrade, and I will be restoring the database back. From the SCN, there will be no database changes. I have been searchng for information on databse backups / filegroups.
My questions are:
1. The database has 3 filegroups, besides the primary. If I do a complete backup, will it also do the filegroups?
2. If not, how do I backup the filegroups?
3. Whne I resote the databse, how do I bring in the filegroups from the backup?
Any info or pointers to links is greatly appreciated. Have a good day.

I am trying to restore from a backup of an individual filegroup in SQL Server 7.0. I have backed up the individual filegroups, and I want to restore one of them (not the whole database). The process in EM is almost the same as restoring the entire database, only you choose the radio button 'Filegroups' and the files/filegroups you want to restore.
The restoration appears to complete sucessfully, but afterward, my database seems to be permanently loading. In other words, in EM the database is greyed out and you cannot use it anymore. It stays like this until you drop the database altogether. Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have experience restoring from filegroups sucessfully???

I think jthis is a bug. I have a table created and populated on its own filegroup. I backup the db(all filegroups) and the trans log then I drop the one table. When I try to restore from my backups, it insists that I back up the trans log again. I do, then do the restore of both the filegroup and the trans log. The restore finishes, but my table is still not there and I can never get it back.
Any one with comments please help

Hi, I have a database with about 200Gigs allocated to filegroups and 200Megs data in it presently, and am trying to create a copy of the database on the same server - except I don't have enough diskspace free for another 200Gigs. Is there a way using copy database wizard, or restore that the filegroup allocations can be resized?
Thanks,
Chris

We are going to start using fielgroups to move some indexes to a different RAID. Simple ? is, when you do a full database backup, that backup alss contains the new filegroup?

What is the best method to restore a DBTest1 (with one .mdf and one .ldf) into DBTest2 (with one .mdf, multiple .ndf data files and with 4 filegroups associated with specific data files). I do not see how the one .mdf file (in DBTest1) can be separated into the other 4 filegroups (in DBTest2). This does not sounds like it is possible with Backup DBTest1/Restore to DBTEST2 or (Detach/Attach) because the underlying filegroup and file structure is different.
What method should be used to get the data and structure from DBTest1 (includes 1100 Tables and 550 GBs of Data) into DBTest2 (with 4 filegroups)? Is the following possible:
1) First, in DBTest2, execute a script to create tables/indexes on appropriate filegroups.
2) In DBTest2, use scripts to pull data from DBTest1 into DBTest2, for example INSERT INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables with SELECT FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables OR use SELECT/INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables.
Or, is it possible to use the BULK INSERT or BULK COPY Options? Export/Import Wizard?
Does the Create Index step needs to be done after the data is loaded into DBTest2?

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"
Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

I'm trying to backup a database to remote server first i did add a device using USE master
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'NetworkDevice', 'cabaanpubs.bak'
then
BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO NetworkDevice
it gives me an error saying
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I don't really understand what's goin.
basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.
Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.
Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.
i appriciate your support and help .

Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.

WE are using sqlserver 7.0 & backing full database using Seagate backup ver 7.2 on a tape drive.
I have following questions if anybody could help
1]How do I restore a single table backup from the tape backup without restoring the full database first on the disk & then running import/export

Is there any third party backup utility which allows for a single / selected table restore?
2]What are the steps or if anybody has the script for tansfering logins/users
with permisssions & without deencrypting the passwords when transfering from one server to another server.

Hi All,
I've been working developing database on my PC @ work, and sadly enough would like to spend some time on it at home. To these ends I backed up the database at work where it restored fine. However have tried to restore the file at home and am getting an error saying the operating system cannot access the file. Is this something to do with NTFS permissions?
Thanks in advance
